FOREWORD

Water supply planners are looking more and more to desalination as a means by 
which supplemental and new water supplies can be offered at acceptable cost in 
those regions where natural water supplies are becoming fully utilized. Where the 
water demands are relatively large, nuclear reactors can be an economic energy 
source for a desalination plant, especially when desalination is combined with the 
production of electricity in dual-purpose and multi-purpose plants.
In recognition of the growing interest, the International Atomic Energy Agency held 
a Symposium on Nuclear Desalination in Madrid on 18-22 November 1968.
Nearly 300 participants from 36 countries and international organizations discussed 
more than 60 papers on desalination and reactor applications, research, recent 
developments and studies, and large desalination plant operating experience. Papers 
also described agro-industrial complexes and the potential that the energy centre 
concept may hold for integrated and large- scale area development in certain 
underdeveloped regions. This concept is of special interest to those countries which 
are now major importers of food and fertilizers; which possess raw materials that 
can be processed by energy-intensive industries; or which have climates favourable 
to year-round agriculture and fertile but 'under-watered' soils.
The proceedings of the symposium are published in the hope that they will be of 
value to engineers, planners, economists and administrators in the development and 
application of nuclear desalination.
The Agency wishes to express its thanks to the authors and participants for their 
contributions, to the discussion leaders who acted as chairmen of various sessions, 
and to the Government of Spain for acting as host.
